Verse 1:
Gm                  Eb
  Been walking on a tightrope
         Bb             F
Juggling high hopes and reality
Gm                   Eb
  Just trying not to mess up
              Bb                F
Tryna keep my head up, fighting gravity
  Gm           Eb            Bb                Dm
I can't outrun growing up, I still feel like a kid

Pre-chorus:
Gm                 Eb
Quick to judge the ones we love
Bb             F
Sometimes I forget

Chorus:
(nc)      Gm            Eb        Bb
It's your first time on Earth too
      Gm                        Eb          Bb  Dm
And I hope that you know that I don't blame you
          Gm                 Eb
It's just pain that you were passing down
    Bb           F
I'm older, and I see it now
        Gm      Eb            Bb
It's your first time on Earth too

Verse 2:
Gm                      Eb
  Orange bottles in the cabinet
             Bb             Dm
Tryna kill a habit that was killing you
Gm                    Eb                       Bb
  Back then, I didn't get that you gave me the best
              Dm
That you knew how to do

Pre-chorus:
         Gm            Eb
You were far from done growing up
Bb             Dm
When you had a kid
Gm                 Eb
Quick to judge the ones we love
Bb             F
Sometimes I forget

Chorus:
(nc)      Gm            Eb        Bb
It's your first time on Earth too
      Gm                        Eb          Bb  Dm
And I hope that you know that I don't blame you
          Gm                 Eb
It's just pain that you were passing down
    Bb           F
I'm older, and I see it now
        Gm      Eb            Bb
It's your first time on Earth too

Interlude:
Bb Bb6

Bridge:
         Gm                               Eb
When you pass through the waters, I'll be with you
                Bb                     F
Just 'cause I'm angry sometimes, don't mean I don't miss you
    Gm                  Eb
You had your issues and I had mine
    Bb                    Dm
Oh, I'd forgive you if we still had time
Gm                            Eb
I was still young, I couldn't see
    Bb
The world on your shoulders
    Dm
You traded your dreams
    Gm             Eb
For me, for us, is that just life?
       Bb
Nobody ever gets everything right

Chorus:
          (nc)                   Bb    Dm
It's your first time on Earth too (Oh-oh)
      Gm                        Eb          Bb
And I hope that you know that I don't blame you
                 Dm
You know I don't blame you
          Gm                 Eb
It's just pain that you were passing down
    Bb           F
I'm older, and I see it now
        Gm      Eb            Bb
It's your first time on Earth too
